June 25, 2015 It was disclosed in June that there were 15 emails between Mrs. Clinton and her longtime adviser Sidney Blumenthal, mainly dealing with events in Libya, that Mrs. Clinton did not provide to the State Department. In response to that development, a Clinton campaign official said, “We do not have a record of other correspondence between her and Mr. Blumenthal beyond that which was turned over to the State Department.” The official added, “We do not recognize many of those materials and cannot speak to their origin.” — The New York Times

Analysis

The campaign has not said what happened to these emails. But its failure to turn them over to the State Department has raised questions about whether Mrs. Clinton gave the department all the messages pertaining to her work as the nation’s top diplomat.

Questions have been raised! And answered, obviously - there is no question that not all the relevant emails were turned over. The only question might be, was this some sort of archiving error, or, well, editorial discretion as exercised by Team Clinton?

I am not a big investment expert, but it seems to me Al Gore has a scam operating in plain sight.

I think the plan is this:

1. Invest in green companies and companies that purport to operate on "sustainability" ethics.

2. Make a lot of noise and force governments and major corporations to pass laws which favor these companies to the detriment of others.

3. Lure pension funds and endowments to divest of carbon-fuel stocks and invest in your cherry-picked fund, which shows a profit because you have inside information on governmental policies and contracts.

4. Drive oil, gas, and coal prices down.

I would bet my bottom dollar that there is one more step:

5. Buy energy stocks on the cheap and control the market, so when the need becomes apparent you can make a killing.

an old quote -
What’s News, and What Isn’t ~ John Hinderaker @ Powerline
"The liberal media manifest their bias not primarily by writing things that aren’t true–although that sometimes happens–but rather, by selecting what they do and do not report as news. Major scandals and events of great importance are simply ignored if they do not reflect well on the Democratic Party, while minor stories receive endless attention if they advance the liberal agenda."

Yes, rse, re creation of false conflicts. Like the old British stratagem in Kenya and elsewhere, causing deliberate trouble between tribes, divide and rule. (Shakespeare's Iago whispering in Othello's ear.) So also the false conflict between East and West, capitalism and communism. I'm still amazed that China fell for it, a German Marx mentored by British cabals. Ha, they fought the British-imposed opium, but were blind to British-sponsored ideology.

I first became aware of the Captain Underpants series when I attended the book fair for my grandkids.

Scholastic Books has these book fairs which allow schools to raise money off book sales. The books are shipped in along with the displays and volunteers from the PTA handle the sales. Schools usually have the fairs in conjunction with Grandparents Week or Open House so that they get adult purchases.

What I noticed about the books for sale is that there are a lot of lefty oriented books (Obama and Michelle biographies, multi-cultural tales, books on recycling and environment, etc.)

I hate the Captain Underpants series because it caters to the worst aspects of grade school humor.
